Dons Freshman Keep on Winning - Dons 10 Ventura 3

The Dons picked up another Channel League victory at Ventura Tuesday night, winning decisively 10-3.  This time it was Evan Smith who pitched a complete game, throwing seven solid innings and allowing one earned run.  The Dons got off to great start, mostly using their eyes instead of their bats, and scored 7 runs in the top of the 1st inning on 4 walks, 2 hit batters, and 2 hits.  Toby Minehan hit a bases loaded double and Johnny Brontsema hit a single to knock in two runs each.  Ventura got 1 run back in the 3rd, but Santa Barbara answered in the 4th when Jason Jimenez was hit by a pitch (his third time that game) and scored on a hit by Toby Minehan.  The score remained 8-1 until the 7th inning, when the Dons added 2 more runs on 4 walks and an error.  Ventura got 2 runs back in the bottom of the 7th, to make the final score 10-3.
